Quote: Quote: I was thinking that the four of them had survived a very traumatic occasion. Anna had her first really intense experience of warfare. Liu Xi thought she was going to die. Lara found herself struggling to protect people she hardly remembers. Chiaki coped with an entire planet of tormented dead people. And now all of them are on a raw, brutal alien world where anything can happen and where the weak are meat. There's got to be something for the cast to discuss.Quote: It's going to be tough to drag anything out of them right away - they'll all kind of be silently in shock - but that could be funny too.Your call. I'm not saying to anybody that they need to write stuff. I try to ensure that Untold Tales offers a coherent narrative in its own right. On the other hand I don't always have the time to cover all the nuances or details for each of the rather large cast, so if posters want to flesh out their characters' reactions I'm all for it. Quote: Quote: Thugos tends to test his opponents to see if they're strong and worthy of his attention.Quote: Lara must have already proved that with the zombies and Ms Peel, since Thugos isn't doing something cliche like making her fight her own friends.There are presumably other strengths he wishes to test. Quote: She would only be impressed if he's using his power to change the universe positively somehow. But Lara is also a little strange there, that she believes even those thought of as incurably evil have the capability to positively change the universe. She knows the Hooded Hood is doing so, even though even he might not be aware of how much, or might not mean to.I'm not sure Thugos would view himself as evil. He has a viewpoint that he believes in - that strength ensures survival - and sees his role in promoting that as the future of the Parodyverse. He wouldn't neccessarily describe himself as villainous as the Hood would. He would describe himself as neccessary. Quote: Also note, while Lara doesn't particularly like the world Thugos takes so much pride in, she probably recognizes that it's millions of souls who depend on him to survive. If he has a genuine problem he needs solved for their sake, she would probably help out for their sake, whether Thugos is grateful for it or not.Noted. Quote: But she also has a particular hatred for being kept against her will, so she might offer to help even after he says they're all free to go, but be somewhat resistant until he says it.Also noted. | |||||||
